RAIZ: Proposta arquitetônica de um Centro de Lazer e Cultura para São Gonçalo do Amarante/RN

Abstract

The work in question is the development of a design proposal for a cultural center focused on the community of São Gonçalo do Amarante, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Within the project, there are environments directly related to cultural dissemination, as well as technical support spaces to provide the necessary conditions for the facility's use, ensuring the quality of the activities offered to reach the target audience. The motivation for this work is based on the principle that leisure and culture are part of people's lives and are fundamental pillars guaranteed by the Federal Constitution, aiming to provide a better quality of life for citizens. However, in a municipality with such a strong local culture, presented to the people in various ways, including folk groups, there is no public facility that meets the population's needs in this regard. Therefore, in order to produce this work, theoretical and conceptual research was conducted, as well as case studies of architectural elements directly related to the proposed program of requirements, including structural considerations, in addition to seeking to understand the needs of local artists.
